Video: Science to Reveal How Long Highway Construction Should Actually Take
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) tasked a team of Purdue University engineers with collecting data on concrete maturity through select highway patching and paving projects. The team will use the data to provide a new evidence-based recommendation on the optimal time to open up traffic following a construction project, which would save time and reduce traffic slowdowns. Purdue engineering researchers are collecting data through piezoelectric sensors designed to track concrete s...
